Too Much on Your Mind and Can’t Sleep?

This post was created in partnership with Mom Buzz Media. I received this product free of charge in exchange for my honest opinion.

Falling asleep and staying asleep is something that I have a really hard time doing. I have a lot on my plate juggling a full time job, staying at home with my three kids while I do that job, blogging and making sure my household runs smoothly. I should just pass out as soon as I hit the sheets, right? How many of us actually do that? I have a million and one things running through my head. I think too much. I plan out my next day before it has even begun. It’s a problem that I have suffered from since I was little. I have anxiety over what I have to get done and what I have not been able to do. I do fall asleep, but I rarely ever stay asleep.

I jumped at the chance to be able to try Natrol Melatonin 1MG Fast Dissolve when it presented itself. I have always wondered if Melatonin would really work for me since my anxiety puts my brain into overdrive. I have been scared of sleep aids because of the warnings that you may become dependent on them. I am always on the hunt for natural answers to things and so here we are.

The flavor listed on the bottle was Strawberry and I couldn’t help thinking “Okay, I can live with that!” Chewable is not my favorite form of taking pills, but anything to help me get a good night sleep again I was game to try. I did my research a little bit and melatonin has been shown to reduce anxiety. Answer to my prayers? Maybe. They mean it when they say fast dissolve on the bottle. Other sleep aids will tell you on the bottle that they can take 30 minutes to start to work. Kind of a problem with someone that has anxiety.

So now is the part where you want to know what I thought? After taking Natrol Melatonin for a couple nights in a row, I was pleasantly surprised that I fell asleep quickly and that I stayed asleep. I woke up without feeling that hungover feeling that you normally have from non-natural sleep aids. Thank goodness because I have things to do! If you have trouble getting to sleep in the first place or staying asleep throughout the night, this is the answer to your questions of how you will ever get that back. Oh and by the way I started writing this post about 15 minutes ago after I took three of these and it’s time to say goodnight.

Melatonin is a good, gentle and sometimes effective way to help with insomnia. It’s always a good idea before trying anything stronger. I like that these dissolve easily under the tongue & that worked well for you. 🙂
